Mr. Jasen brightens up our day

Today started off as a pretty uneventful day. I had a lot to do on my "to-do" list so we just hung out at home. The kids played while I caught up on some unfinished laundry, unfinished e-mails, unfinished blog postings, and some other not so interesting stuff that needed to be done.

Here are the kids playing nicely in their plastic Rubbermaid containers. They weren't playing nicely when they had only one container between the two but their loving mother, not being able to take anymore, dumped out another container containing outgrown clothes so both kids could have an empty Rubbermaid container to play with. Which they played with for about 1.3 seconds after this picture was taken.

Aren't they sweet?!

This scene just seemed unique to me so I had to snap a pic.

Our friend Jasen is in town this week for work and is staying with us while he visits his clients in the Atlanta area. I truly believe he visits us just to get his quarterly (or so) dose of birth control....

Here is Lauren running over his head with the train.

And check out Tyler with his tape measure. He's doing some engineering work on the toy train while watching the movie Cars. Very BOY of him don't ya think?!

And to be fair, of course, Lauren needed her own tape measure to play with while watching Cars on Daddy's lap.

And that pretty much sums up our Tuesday. We're about to put the kids down and then either watch Big Brother or a Netflix movie....depends on who wins the tv tonight. Since we have a guest I'm guessing the movie might win out. We'll see.
